What throws me off on a book like this are the two small abrasions at the lower staple and the half dozen or so similar abrasions along the bottom edge,which I believe are from the printing / manufacturing process.  It seems that sometimes these are ignored by graders, and sometimes counted against the book.  I could imagine giving this book a 7.5 or even 8.0 if you look past those.

Some (but I think not all) of the ones along the bottom are manufacturing because they are on almost every ff annual 6, but I’ve never seen the ones along the spine before... If someone has some insight it would help because I’m dinging the book pretty hard for those (the spine abrasions)...

OK, here are a couple of data points for you.  First, my 9.4 which clearly has the manufacturing abrasions:

And here's my Silver Surfer #5, which got a 9.4 despite some abrasion at the upper staple:

It feels a bit subjective, and I think you're going to be at the mercy of whoever grades the book.  But given your book's other (minor) defects, I'm feeling even more hopeful that you'd be more in the 7.5-8.0 range than 6.5-7.0.
